"Wünsch DIR was" (roughly Make a wish; lit. Wish YOURSELF something) is a song by Die Toten Hosen. It's the second single and the thirteenth track from the album Kauf MICH!.

The intro of the song is sung by the children's choir "Mosquito" from the music school in Meerbusch.

The song is generally about hope for a better world and anticipation of a time, when wishing helps again. According to Campino, the song was meant to be ironic however.
